I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 115 Chain Reaction
For the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the sixth day of August this year was too uneasy.

First, the Holy Majesty fainted from grief in the Taimiao early in the morning.

Later, the Holy Majesty was assassinated outside Dong'an Gate. If any of these two incidents were singled out, it would be a major event enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

The news of Li Tian's assassination outside Dong'an Gate spread, needless to say, Manchu was shocked. The Bing Ma Si and Shun Tian Mansion, who were in charge of public security in the capital, were already in chaos.

The imperial decree to seal the clarification workshop was passed to Dongcheng Bingma Division, and Bai Qiliang, the commander of Dongcheng Bingma Division, staggered and sat on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

Regardless of where these assassins came from, he, the chief officer in charge of public security in the East City, has done his best.

Losing an official is a small matter, but beheading is a major matter. Bai Qiliang, who was depressed by this unreasonable disaster, quickly pointed the finger at Qingqingfang.

With one order, five hundred soldiers and horses in Dongcheng City patrolled the streets of Marquis Wu, and fire patrols were dispatched. It took less than half an hour to block all the streets outside Qingqingfang.

The chain reaction has only just begun. The capital city is divided into two counties, the west city is Wanping County, and the east city is Daxing County.

Although Liu Hong, the county magistrate of Daxing County in Dongcheng, did not receive the imperial edict, he did not dare to stand by and watch. He ordered eighty policemen and twenty musketeers in the yamen, personally led the team, and went straight to Chengshou Street where the assassination incident broke out.

In addition, Shuntian Mansion, Habayashi Youwei stationed outside the clarification workshop, and Dongchang Jinyiwei sent troops to the clarification workshop to display their methods.

All of a sudden, the whole clarification workshop was full of officials dressed in different colors, Chengshou Street was surrounded by several yamen into iron barrels, no one could enter and exit from the clarification workshop except the family members of the injured and the doctor.

Things are still not over here.

The clarification workshop is where many royal palaces are located. Many princes were worried about getting into trouble, and in order to clear their suspicions, they all went to petition to face the saint.

The family members and guards in the mansion also sent out in sevens and eighties, and they would assist the government in thoroughly investigating the matter no matter what.

In the main hall of the cabinet, Yang Shiqi, the chief assistant who heard the news, immediately ordered an emergency cabinet meeting, vowing to come up with a charter on this matter.

The news spread to the yamen of the six ministries and five temples. The officials of the ministries and halls who had just breathed a sigh of relief in the morning were already frightened. Although they did not flock to the inner court again, the subordinate officials who sent out inquiries were batch after batch.

Inside and outside the palace city was oppressive, but Li Tian, ​​the protagonist of the assassination incident, was standing against the wind on the Chengtian Gate at this time, with a normal expression.

Stepping on the bluestone floor tiles that will be called Tiananmen Square in 500 years, Li Tian was full of thoughts, quietly listening to Jiang Bao's report on various situations.

"Your Majesty, the identity of one of the assassins named Lei Tiansheng has been found out. He is the rudder master of Mingjiao's sub-rudder in the capital. Dongchang has a portrait recorded three years ago."

Sure enough, it was Mingjiao, Li Tiangan laughed twice, and shook his head noncommittally:
"The decree goes on, except for the people from Dongchang and Dongcheng Bingmasi, all other yamen should be withdrawn."

"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely bad. Isn't it too early to let Jin Yiwei and other yamen withdraw?"

"It's not early at all."

Putting his hands on the brick piles of the city wall, letting the cool autumn wind blow across his cheeks, Li Tian pursed his lips and said:
"The Ming Cult's assassination of me this time was obviously a whim, without any plan, and there must be very few clues that can be investigated.

There are so many yamen piled up there, except for making the people feel timid in court, there is no benefit. "

"Old slave understands."

Jiang Bao passed the decree, only Wang Fu and Zheng He were still by Li Tian's side, Zheng He followed all the time, Wang Fu came in a hurry when he learned that the emperor had been assassinated.

Li Tian was not in the mood to ask about Wang Fu's bank at the moment, he just kept thinking about how to eradicate Mingjiao.

Zheng He thought that the emperor was depressed after seeing the people trampled to death, so he pondered for a while, and took the initiative to say:
"Your Majesty, our family thinks that a mere three or fifty taels of silver is not enough to make up for the harm suffered by the common people, so it is better to record all the casualties of the common people.

He was exempted from tax and labor for five years, and the imperial court built a mourning hall on Chengshou Street to show the imperial court's kindness to the people. "

"What Uncle Bao said is very reasonable, let's do it this way, people cannot be brought back to life after death, and innocent people died because of me, so I can only do these things."

"Our family obeys."

After bowing his hands, seeing that Li Tian's complexion improved by three points, Zheng He turned around and was ready to make arrangements.

Wang Fu didn't have the guts to stay by Li Tian's side right now, so he quickly grabbed Zheng He and said in a low voice:

"Duke Zheng, it's fine for the old slave to go, Duke Zheng should stay here with His Majesty."

As soon as Wang Fu left, only Li Tian and Zheng He were left in Chengtianmen Mountain. Looking around, there was no one around. Zheng He walked up to Li Tian, ​​and said in a different tone:

"At the beginning of the law of change, Your Majesty, please put the great cause first."

Hearing Zheng He's slightly teaching tone, Li Tian couldn't help laughing, turned around and said with a light smile:

"Uncle Bao, you think too much. How could I sink like this? I was just thinking about how to uproot the Ming Cult."

Looking at Li Tian's expression that doesn't seem to be fake, Zheng He heaved a sigh of relief, saying that he was rude, and said instead:

"Your Majesty don't need to worry. From our family's point of view, Mingjiao claims to be the religion of the common people. After this kind of incident, the people will never trust Mingjiao again. Your Majesty can watch it. It won't be long before the Mingjiao forces will find it difficult to survive in Beijing."

"Of course I understand this, but the capital city is not the only one in the world, and the population of the capital city accounts for only one-sixtieth of my Daming household registration.

As long as the Ming religion is rampant in my Ming Dynasty, I will not have peace for a day.You should have heard about the rebellion of the mountain people in Fujian. In fact, it was the rebellion of the Mingjiao, which entangled two thousand congregants to attack the Youxi county government. "

Hearing that Li Tian had such a grand vision, Zheng He's expression froze, and he smiled embarrassingly:

"It's because our family's vision is narrow."

Li Tian waved his hand indifferently. This has nothing to do with vision. From the establishment of Mingjiao in the late Yuan and early Ming to the present, it can be said that it is the same age as the country.

Not to mention Zheng He, even ordinary people have long been accustomed to the existence of Mingjiao.

As for the reason why Mingjiao was able to burn like wildfire and spring breeze to blow again, the reason is also very simple. The people blamed all the mistakes made by corrupt officials and tyrants on the court.

"The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sky is about to change."

Li Tian slightly narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

Zheng He's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, thinking that the emperor was implying something, but the wind blowing from the north was indeed suddenly strong.

Swallowing, suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zheng He bowed and cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, we didn't bring a coat when we came out. Let's go down before the weather changes."

"I have to go down and take a look. I'll be on the air every day. It's cold."

Throwing another plausible sentence, Li Tian laughed loudly, and turned around and walked quickly.
